Lil Heads...

My plan for this week was to make as many small heads as I could. So far I've made 17. I'd like to have 30 ready to put in the kiln by friday. Pretty sure I can reach that goal. I've also made a bunch more magnets, and in a different style than before. For this new magnet series I'm using my colored slips and I'm drawing/carving on the clay to create the flowers. I'm hoping to expand it to stuff other than flowers. Today I'm going to attempt to make a little magnet picture of Mt Hood, as well as one that features the state outline of Oregon. Yes, I'm making touristy things. Fuck off. I'm trying to operate a successful business here. I figure I can sell out up to 25% and still maintain my dignity. I haven't yet turned my heads into key holders, so back off.
